Remote Learning Resources
Welcome to the Cardinal Griffin Remote Learning Page. This page will be constantly updated so please remember to check back regularly.
We encourage students to complete work at home, provided they are well enough to do so. Class teachers can be contacted via SatchelOne (Show My Homework).
Satchel One/Show My Homework
We are also busy populating our new Sharepoint site for 2021-22. The link to the “Pupils’ Working From Home” Sharepoint site is here:
CGCC Home Learning Sharepoint Site
To access the Sharepoint site, students need to be signed into their Office 365 account.
Students need to open the “General” folder and then select their year group, followed by the subjects they study. These folders are a secure space for our teachers to upload work to; clarification of the tasks to complete can then be requested via SatchelOne if needed.
Any work students wish to submit can then be done so via SatchelOne, or when they return to us here in College.

Oak National Academy
"Oak National Academy is a new collection of high-quality lessons and online resources. Backed by the Government, it has been created in response to the coronavirus lockdown.
Our online classroom offers free access to great teachers, delivering video lessons, quizzes and worksheets. Available for both primary and secondary levels, it covers a range of subjects. All of the lessons are ordered so your child can learn along a clear plan. We’ll provide new lessons and resources each week.
Follow your school’s advice. They may have their own plans already in place. They’ll be free to suggest if and how this online classroom is used, perhaps alongside any existing work.
Oak National Academy will fit alongside other resources such as BBC Bitesize to offer a structure for the day for children until schools fully reopen.
Oak National Academy was built at speed; at present our resources are for pupils who usually access their schools’ curriculum in mainstream education, from reception through to year 10, without significant support or adaptation. We’re currently working on providing support for teachers working with pupils with additional needs, and teachers based in specialist settings.
How it works
Schools are free to decide how their pupils make use of these lessons and resources, to fit in with current lesson plans and complement existing work.
Each Oak National Academy lesson will be an hour long, with elements such as a quiz, a video explanation from the teacher and a worksheet.
Each lesson has been created by a subject expert in a careful plan. Teachers will let pupils know how they can best use these resources. There are two options:
- Either, teachers and pupils can use all the lessons and resources in their entirety, following along the set plan of content for each subject. Click the Schedule button when inside the online classroom to follow along like this.
- Alternatively, teachers can choose individual bits of content or lessons that work best for them and their pupils. This can be in as many or as few subjects as needed. Teachers will let their pupils know which lessons to do, and when. Click the Subject button when inside the online classroom to access these options.
In either case, teachers will let pupils and parents know which option to select in the online classroom.
If you have more questions, please visit our FAQs."
